Bathroom Doors And Vanity Tops

By Darren Hartley


Special challenges involved in the selection of bathroom doors include the choice of the right size, their installation and their make. Since most bathrooms are relatively small, difficulty may be encountered in finding the right door size for a particular bathroom. The moisture and humidify changes in a bathroom can prove to be too much for some types of doors.

The three major criteria in the selection of bathroom doors are function, aesthetics and cost. For interior use, wooden doors are popular choices. For the bathroom, however, they may not be the ideal choice as they have a tendency to warp or swell after their exposure to the moisture and humidity changes in a bathroom.

Bathroom doors are better made of metal or fibreglass, two materials that address the bathroom moisture and humidity issues without falter. In addition, they prove best for inadequately ventilated bathrooms. Because of the tight configuration of most bathrooms, the aspect of the bathroom door swing needs a little bit of an evaluation.

Functionality is not the first priority in the selection of bathroom vanity tops. Appearance is. Thus, a cultured marble vanity top is a lovely choice for a bathroom. The style and design of the bathroom vanity top becomes a matter of personal taste, since it is usually custom made.

Making a statement and setting of the tone of the room can be functions of bathroom vanity tops. However, they remain practical by providing the needed additional workspace. The choice of its material would depend on the bathroom design. Stainless steel vanity tops look fabulous in a contemporary setting. Other than their remaining beautiful over time depending on their quality, they require very little maintenance.

Bathroom vanity tops made of glass are striking and modern. However, solid slabs can be a little bit on the pricey side and keeping them free from fingerprints can prove to be a challenge. An alternative to solid slabs are glass tiles.
